VE Instrument Cluster EEPROM Programming

[oldn64]

Hello All,

Ok i suspect this is the wrong place to post this I am hoping with all the cluster detail you have all been playing with there might be a good thought process here or even someone who has experienced the issue.

I have a 2011 S2 SS manual wagon. Currently I have two issues which I believe are related. First is that I have my dash going black occasionally and as if it is rebooting while driving. I cannot reproduce the problem all the time and it never happens when the dash is on the passenger seat (yes I have removed the dash to diagnose with extended harnesses (headache).

SO i have checked all wiring and monitored all voltage things look stable. I believe this cluster to be the original (however, I am not sure how to verify this). Car has 97,000 ish klms and looks new, so i am not suggesting foul play. after checking everything I am at wits end as to why this is occuring.

The second issue is that I get a check oil light flash up occasionally as well. This can be a single beep with a flash, or two beep and proper oil display. I have replaced the filter and the oil pressure sender and still get the problem. I have made sure all wiring is seated on the sensor and that I am getting signal from the unit. Sender unit was only changed because it was suspected that it was the issue. Oil pressure has been checked and is all good, not a data at all. If I drive at 110kmh in 6th it chimes every 3ish klms randomly, if in 5th no chimes until decel. I can assure that there is oil pressure and the car is not starving for oil. Gauge tells me it is all fine. Only reason I have replaced the oil filter as I have had issues with the racecar and a failed oil filter before.

I know my wife did flatten the battery a month ago and I went through the process of charging and cycling the battery at home once I got the car there. I really dont like just replacing parts but I am starting to get to the stage I might have too. I really dont want to go down the line of replacing the dash either as I am not tooled up yet to do a dash replacement nor do I think this will be an easy conversion. This SS is a once off, and has been verified by Holden themselves. (was a demonstrator and has a lot of the Calais options installed (including the cream interior of the tradition black).

This is my baby after my last one was stolen so I am very much wanting to try and resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Hi all

I am trying to find some support on how to install a new instrument cluster on my MK7 fiesta, I have managed to get hold of a replacement cluster second hand, and have made a backup of the current cluster, but I had trouble re-loading it onto the replacement cluster, and then when I managed to get both clusters looking the same in the central config, I am now getting ABS errors on the new cluster but when I go back to the old one everything is ok.

Also is there an option to correct the millage on the new cluster so it’s the same as my old one?

I haven’t done the PATS programing yet would this be causing the ABS issue or is there something else I need to be doing?

Cheers

This thread has been very helpful. The Series 2 clusters are very easy and I have them down to a tee.

The white back is a different kettle of fish.

I am in the states and have currently trying to get a white back triple display working in a G8. I can do this all fine except for getting the units in US MPH and Miles.

I have finally narrowed down the units to be between section 000-130. I have swapped lines at a time and it seems it is dependent on the prior sections.

No changes to the units up until line 100. But you change 100-130 and suddenly they change. But then if you go back and change anything prior you lose them. It seems like something inbetween 100-130 relies on a prior section as well to work.

I also am unaware if the whiteback have check sums like the series 2.

Anyways I have narrowed down units to the following:

04A-04C duplicates at 28A-28C
07B duplicates at 2B3
0B4-0BE duplicates at 2D7-2E2
0EC duplicates at 304
0F4-0F5 duplicates at 30C-30D
0FC-0FD duplicates at 314-315
107-108 duplicates at 31F-320
11F duplicates at 32B

It also seems these repeat between 240-320 but it doesn't matter, if the change occurs in the previous section it works. Also the latter sections may be off depending on software version
____

On a side note, it seems like the vehicle code options on the white back share the same codes for the series 2 clusters which makes changing body style, engine and transmission types super easy. I have compared many files and this seems to be the case.

After the unit issues are solved with the previous data shared in this thread the white back can also be used in the states.
